I figure I'll ask you guys what sort of hints you have to getting less then 1:15 on Fast food. So far the hints I've heard is:

1) Make sure you're on Arcade mode using the sports car

2) Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!

3) Supposedly the American and French cars are faster then the German and British ones

With all that I've still only been able to get 1:40 as my fastest time.

Anyone?

What determines the cars' nationality? I thought it was just light/heavy/sport.

It's going to be a hard achievement either way. That and the Speed Racer one. I can't beat 5 hard AI once yet, let alone 5 times in a row.

When setting up the race (at the same time that you set they type of car) their is an option to change the flag, depending on the flag you choose, you get a different type of car.

Oh, well shoot. In that case I've already been using the "faster" American car.

I think my best time so far is in the 1:25 - 1:30 range. Whenever I get lucky and pick up lots of jet boosts and spring reloads, I manage to jet myself right out of the course. Gotta be lucky and careful.

.. After about an hour, I got it. There are 6 spots where you must use boost.
1) Very beginning. After your first box. Go for the middle box, almost always a boost.
2) The loop-de-loop.
3) The first left after the loop-de-loop.
4) The 'glass' hill right before the 'candle jump'. But slow down right after use, or you'll zoom off course.
5) Right after the final big jump before the lap end.
6) Right after #5, going into the end of the lap.

My best so far 1:17.xx and that's with at least a couple hours of trying.

This is an annoying achievement because it depends so much on luck. You can race perfectly, but if you just don't get enough boost there's nothing you can do.

Like that Zuma achievement to clear a level in less than 0 seconds or whatever.

Whew! 1:14.80 That took me a lot of tries.

Wonder if I'll have any more luck with Speed Racer.
